Mike and Melissa wore the same disappointed look on their faces. They had expected the jade to be fake so that Logan will be kicked out from the eventsHe was pissed that Logan had been proven right and it dawned on him that he might gain more points with Lord Leinhart and at this point he might not be able to talk to Mia at all.He looked at Melissa who gave him the invite to the party. She looked like she was so lost in her thoughts. Melissa hated that her cousin still had the chance to compete with her for the position of the CEO, now that her boyfriend had brought a Jade for their grandfather he might just change his mind and make her the CEO right away.She knew she had to do something to change his mind or else she would lose to Mia once again.“The Jade might be real but it
As Logan walked quietly behind the butler, he wasn’t scared or afraid. He went there with the intention of having a conversation with Lord Leinhart.The butler opened the door for Lord Leinhart to go in. Lord Leinhart faced the butler. “Wait for us here.”“Yes, my lord.” The butler remained outside and shut the door after Logan went in.Logan bowed lowly before Lord Leinhart, it had been a while since he last bowed before anyone. Many rich people and their families were always at his beck and call but he was paying respect to Lord Leimhart because he was his wife’s grandfather. “Who are you?” Lord Leinhart said in a stern voice. “You may fool anyone including my granddaughter but you can’t fool me.”Logan thought of what to say, he knew that if he exposed himself as the president of starfall group, it could make Lord Leinhart discredit Mia’s effort in getting the contract. Also he could not tell him that he was a secret agent.It would be a ridiculous thing to say and he doubted that
“That was faster than I thought, I knew he wasn’t going to leave after all. How did you guys figure out his base?” Logan asked.“He got hit by your bullet, so they brought in a private doctor for him, the boys followed the doctor down to his base.” Sam continued.“Hmm, Are you sure that is his actual base or his passing time there? Remember Savini is a smart sneaky ass bastard, That might just be one of his plans to distract anyone who is watching him, my bullet did not hit him or his men.” Logan said.“But….” Sam was about to say another word but Logan spoke.“I used the guns we use for practice, just rubber bullets that have no effect.”Sam chuckled after hearing what his boss said.“Did you just laugh? I wonder who didn’t put my actual gun in my pouch?”“I am sorry sir.”“Keep your eyes on him. Hie is using the doctors to find out how many people are after him,” Logan stroked his chin “One more thing if any case I am not home, the mail man will bring in contract for me, drop it in
Mia stood before her grandfather in her his study, he had asked his butler to summon her into his study after she and her parents had settled in. “Good evening Grandpa.'' Mia bowed slightly. She was wondering why he had asked her to come to his study that time. He never does that unless it was something important.Like if he had an emergency situation he wants her to attend to.“Thank you for letting us back in.” She said sincerely even when she was still curious as to why he had asked them to come back home after speaking to Logan. “Where are you still at home?” Lord Leinhart asked. That question caught Mia off guard. What did he mean by why was she at home when he asked her to clearly come back home with her parents.“What do you mean Grandpa? You asked us to return home.” She said with fear in her voice. She didn’t know what he was going to say. Though he had given them access to all their stuff, she wasn’t sure of anything at that point.“In the history of the Leinharts, no
Mia sat in her room and palmed her face. Trying to withhold her eyes, she grabbed her phone from her bedstead then she sent a text to her husband. “Can you come pick me up from the Villa?” “What’s going on? Did something happen?” Logan replied almost immediately. He was in the middle of planning his next move on Savini. He was in his hideout, which was close to one of his family buildings. “I will let you know the details when I come. Please rent a car that can take my boxes, I don't have the strength to drive my car tonight.” Since he still had a lot to do in his hideout, he decided to have Mia stay in the family building that was near instead of taking her to his own place. “Are your parents coming too?” “No.” She dropped her phone on the bed and brought out three suitcases, she packed all her important files that she was working on, her clothes, her makeup and shoes then she went to the mini lounge where her parents were staying. “Where are you heading to this night with th
“We don’t have to stay at someone else's place.” Mia quickly said before he could leave the car. “I am very much okay if I stay at your own place.”She didn’t want him to go out of his way to satisfy her just because she was from a high end family.“There is no problem if we stay here, it is even nearer to your place of work.” he assured her. “It mayne to have bodyguards like the Villa but it is pretty much safe.”He wasn't going to scare her or alert her but saying a lot of his men are actually guarding the place. He had placed tight security around Mia ever since the morning that he had woken up next to her.“It is okay if your own place is farther from my workplace, I can always ask someone to send my cars over so commuting will be easy.”“I didn’t know this place wouldn't be good enough to your liking,” Logan sounded disappointed. “I only decided that we should stay here for the time being because I have a task to complete around here.”On hearing that he had a task to complete,
The LH Group“Miss Leinhart hasn’t been to work in a long time, who else finds it weird that the workaholic of the LH group is absent ?” One of the members of the staff at the HQ of the LH group spoke.Mia’s absence at work had caused a stir in the office, though they had no major delays in their ongoing works but the office was quiet and peaceful. It is usually a bustling place where everyone always has something to do. If their boss, Mia wasn’t yelling at them for a mishandled project, she was piling up future tasks before them.“I was also going to say something about it. Even when she is sick, she never fails to come to work and roll out duties to us and work like a dogg. Isn’t that why you guys named heer evil witch?”“If she had not done that, how will you be able to have free weeks to rest. Most of you were free all this while because she had made you guys do six months work ahead. You should be concerned about why she is not here.”“That is true, no one has said anything abou
“Mike Nelson?” The members of the team started whispering amongst themselves again. “Isn’t that who she was supposed to marry? Did they really cancel their marriage? I thought it was just a rumor so it might be true. IS she really pregnant? I see no bump though?”“Miss Mia is pregnant, I think that is why she is leaving right after this project. That is the only sensible reason why she would be leaving.”“She might not be pregnant, she doesn’t even look like it. She has been working for a long time, I think she is just taking a break.” Another staff member suggested.“Her baby bump might not be obvious, that doesn’t mean she is not pregnant. Why would she need a break when her family owns the company?”“True!”“You guys don’t know the meaning of a break? She probably needs a break from all the chaos here.”Mia dropped the pen she was holding. “Why is he here?”Her assistant spoke again, “Someone from the team rejected his proposal to work with us.”“Who rejected the application?” Mi
